Tamarisk Pink Cascade

A beautiful tamarisk cultivar, Tamarix ramosissima Pink Cascade Is a small, deciduous, tree or large shrub with a graceful, arching habit and reddish-brown shoots. The green leaves are small and scale-like. Small, deep pink flowers in long, feathery clusters appear from late summer into autumn on the new shoots.
